    Assignee: Antonio Vieiro

> Too many requests to /dyn/closer.lua from NetBeans users behind an HTTP proxy
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: NETBEANS-2204
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2204
>             Project: NetBeans
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: updatecenters - Pluginportal
>            Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
>            Assignee: Antonio Vieiro
>            Priority: Major
>
> A  large organization with lots of users behind an HTTP proxy was recently 
> banned from accessing *.apache.org servers due to too many requests to the 
> following URL:
> http://apache.org/dyn/closer.lua?action=download&filename=incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans/incubating-10.0/nbms/updates.xml.gz
> Their proxy initiated more than 10'000 connections in 24 hours to that URL, 
> causing an automatic ban by our infra defenses.
> [~wave] rightly notes that this might be due to the NetBeans updates checker, 
> if that's correct it would be good for someone from the NetBeans team to look 
> at it in more detail to avoid such problems in the future. 
> I suppose what needs to be done is to modify that {{closer.lua}} script (or 
> use it differently if there's such an option already) so that its result is 
> cacheable by an HTTP proxy.
